Not really. For me KDB was slightly above Silva but I wavered a bit. Now the iconic treble takes him to another level
Dias and Gundo have (had) some way to catch up with Vinny and Yaya ... but being part of the treble team takes them closer

I honestly think they are very different players.
David Silva was like 'oil' in a car - when he played, the whole team just played better. He always had space, always was available for the pass and just played players in perfectly. He wasn't the player to score 'big goals' but he would set them up.
KdB is like the 'turbo' in a car - when he gets the ball, he's going to win the game. He can score with either foot and play outrageous passes. He was a big game goalscorer.
It's impossible to pick one or the other, I'm just glad I saw both of them play. I never saw Colin Bell as he played before I was born but I'd honestly say that in David Silva, KdB and Yaya I've seen the best 3 midfielders ever to play for City.

Dias and Gundo are above Vinny and Yaya in my opinion, for me the latter never did it enough in Europe, domestically both were amazing though, we are so lucky to have have seen all these players in the sky blueNot really.

Dias is better then vin. Hard to take but definitely true.Fair enough choosing De Bruyne but i don’t think the treble confirms it. Would be like saying it means Dias is better than Vinnie, Gundo is better than Yaya.
In Spain while Silva is admired he's not considered on Iniesta's level. But any player who gets 116 caps during their golden period is one helluva player.The way I define it is that David Silva was on Iniesta's level, but KDB is sat on the same Table as Zinedine Zidane, so I'd take KDB. For me, he's the best player we've ever had and the best midfielder this country has ever seen.
In terms of how these players are viewed outside City, I'd say Kev is rated higher.
For me, the all action style of Kev wins it.
But as others have said it's really an aesthetic thing.
Not a chance he’s better than prime Vinnie. Vinnie had everything before his injuries. Dias is brilliant but limited by comparison.Dias is better then vin. Hard to take but definitely true.
